And when H3588 the LORD H3068 raised H6965 them up judges, H8199 then the LORD H3068 was with the judge, H8199 and delivered H3467 them out of the hand H3027 of their enemies H341 all H3605 the days H3117 of the judge: H8199 for it repented H5162 the LORD H3068 because H6440 of their groanings H5009 by reason of them that oppressed H3905 them and vexed H1766 them.

And the people H5971 and princes H8269 of Gilead H1568 said H559 one H376 to another, H7453 What H4310 man H376 is he that will begin H2490 to fight H3898 against the children H1121 of Ammon? H5983 he shall be head H7218 over all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of Gilead. H1568

And Jephthah H3316 said H559 to the elders H2205 of Gilead, H1568 If H518 you bring H7725 me home H7725 again H7725 to fight H3898 against the children H1121 of Ammon, H5983 and the LORD H3068 deliver H5414 them before H6440 me, shall I be your head? H7218

Then Jephthah H3316 went H3212 with the elders H2205 of Gilead, H1568 and the people H5971 made H7760 him head H7218 and captain H7101 over H5921 them: and Jephthah H3316 uttered H1696 all H3605 his words H1697 before H6440 the LORD H3068 in Mizpeh. H4709

And there was also G2532 a strife G5379 among G1722 them, which G5101 of them should be accounted G1380 the greatest. G3187

But you shall not be so: G3779 but he that is greatest G3187 among G1722 you, let him be as the younger; G3501 and he that is chief, G2233 as he that does serve. G1247

Not for that we have dominion G2961 over your G5216 faith, G4102 but are helpers G4904 of your G5216 joy: G5479 for by faith G4102 you stand. G2476

Neither G3366 as being lords G2634 over G2634 God's G2316 heritage, G2819 but being G1096 ensamples G5179 to the flock. G4168

But the thing H1697 displeased H7489 H5869 Samuel, H8050 when H834 they said, H559 Give H5414 us a king H4428 to judge H8199 us. And Samuel H8050 prayed H6419 to the LORD. H3068

And the LORD H3068 said H559 to Samuel, H8050 Listen H8085 to the voice H6963 of the people H5971 in all H3605 that they say H559 to you: for they have not rejected H3988 you, but they have rejected H3988 me, that I should not reign H4427 over H5921 them.

And you have this day H3117 rejected H3988 your God, H430 who H834 himself saved H3467 you out of all H3605 your adversities H7451 and your tribulations; H6869 and you have said H559 to him, No, but set H7760 a king H4428 over H5921 us. Now H6258 therefore present H3320 yourselves before H6440 the LORD H3068 by your tribes, H7626 and by your thousands. H505

And when you saw H7200 that Nahash H5176 the king H4428 of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 came H935 against H5921 you, you said H559 to me, No; H3808 but a king H4428 shall reign H4427 over H5921 us: when the LORD H3068 your God H430 was your king. H4428

For the LORD H3068 is our judge, H8199 the LORD H3068 is our lawgiver, H2710 the LORD H3068 is our king; H4428 he will save H3467 us.

We are yours: you never H5769 H3808 bore H4910 rule H4910 over them; they were not called H7121 by your name. H8034
